More ICONIC: Teenage Dream or LOUD?

[Smother Em Eh 7,286]

I mean Katy BROKE records with Teenage Dream and the aesthetic is ICONIC but LOUD had HITS too and Red Haired Riri was a MOMENT in pop culture and set trends by making every female around dye their hair red! 

I mean aesthetically and sonically speaking they’re both ICONIC but I would say Teenage Dream by a hair.

I'm torn. 

I feel like visually, Teenage Dream may have a longer legacy as visually its still remembered. But like Loud has way stronger hits.

Visually speaking as in like the look with the blue, pink and purple colored wigs and the candy inspired outfits or the music videos or both?

To me Katy isn't in Rihanna's league as a pop star... HOWEVER, I am giving this to Katy.

Other than Anti, I don't ever think of Rihanna as an album's artist. She is the queen of hit making, but so many of those huge hit songs that we know every word to don't really belong to an album or era to me, they almost seem to exist on their own.

In fact, I often can't tell you exactly what Rihanna song belongs to Rihanna what album. They all kinda blur together. 

But Teenage Dream is very much an era. The colors, the themes, the candy coded vibes. Those songs only fit on that one album. And those songs are all huge. No doubt.
